No. 12 Is there any thing to heredity T Years ago a maa named Steve Brody dared to take & chance and jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge. A humorous feature of the Mary land trip was the sad predicament two members of the football team fell into when they overslept their train and were left alone in an unsympa thetic city. Was there a motive be hind this apparently innocent act? An interesting character is this man of the wilderness. Although he would have it known that he hides in desert wastes and gloomy forests, he shows an uncanny knowledge of campus affairs. He darts from his wild lair at unexpected times to wield a destructive club with random aim. However, he is quite as harmless as John Falstaff or "Bobo," Carnum's wild man. The Tar Heel is publishing a list of new books in the library in this issue. The attention of all sopho mores and freshmen is called to the last one on the list: "Play for Chil dren in Institutions." The Literary Digest contains a short article on a big subject by Dr. Archibald Henderson who is now en joying a year's leave of absence. Dr. Henderson is a rare type in the professional ranks; he balances sci entific accomplishment with high lit erary ability. Speaking of rare combinations re minds us that five men have been selected to visit Raleigh for the Rhodes Scholarship contest. The candidates chosen by the local com mittee have worthy records in schol arship and activities, but there is not an exceptional athlete among them. Football heroes and Phi Beta Kappa students live on a widely different plane in American colleges, and Car olina does not upset the general av erage. The University has had sev eral good athletes in the past who maintained a high scholastic average, and many good scholars who dabbled in athletics, but the annuals show a paucity of men who have excelled in both fields. If only muscular brawn and cortical neurones could. go hand in hand, what a load would be lift ed from the Fetzer brothers and the committee on eligibility rules! Thp ffafiuIvA d.f.'.i 1 .1 1 ' t ulj cov iiauueu me 1 Tar Heel eleven dented Carolina's' liopes for a look-in on the South At- lantic Championship, and brought forth the usual chorus of "I told you so" from the wiseacres. A powerful team should not be expected year in and year out, for averages show that success in football moves in a cycle. A team may win everything in sight for two years, and then in the pro cess of developing and trying ou new men to fill the old ranks, a slight slump results. The following yea brings forth another outstanding combination, and so the process goes. The Carolina eleven appears weak in comparison with last fall s cham DionshiD outfit, but perhaps this ii the off year, the experimental period Certainly there is no cause for gloom The season is still very young, and Captain Casey and company are very likely to stage a remarkable come back in the coming games. Pessi mistic prophets may find a wealth of cheer by watching the daily an tics of the healthy freshman squad Coaches Pritchard, Johnston, and Sheoherd are developing several players who should round out strong varsity next year that is if they can pass their work. - If there is truth in the old saying: Experience is a. great teacher, the examples of the deceased Tar Baby and the crippled Boll Weevil should guide the steps of future humorous publications bearing the abused name of the University along a straighter path. The Tar : Baby, composed of men possessing recognized creative talent, enjoyed a splendid reputation among college comics several years ago. Poor business management and the greed of a few individuals killed its growth and spotted its record The Boll Weevil followed a like car eer, and a promising publication was choked by questionable business meth ods and the University, which lent encouragement to both publications, was slapped in the face as a reward. '. The recent Boll Weevil affair may tend ' to discourage plans for a new humorous publication for some time, but hope is not yet bruised. Pres ident Chase and leading members of the faculty have demonstrated their approval of a humorous student pub lication, providing it is ably and lion. estly handled. They feel along with the' students interested in publica tion work that Carolina offers a fer tile field for such an enterprise, and are more than willing to lend their support. With faculty and student backing assured, it is only a ques tion of time before a reputable col- ege comic, founded on solid business principles, will arise. Private control has been , twice tried, found wanting, and tabooed. The Publications union was originated primarily to place wavering publica tions on a .sure footing, and has sue ceeded in its purpose thus far. A Carolina comic under control of the Publications anion would be an offi cial publication of the University, managed, financed, and supported by students, and would be subject to the regulations of the union which au tomatically assures it of business stability and efficiency. It is true that the Boll Weevil still exists, but a one man publication can not long survive. Its death may be lamented by a few who have toil ed to fill its pages with creative skill, but an overwhelming majority will shed no tears at its bier. Out of its ashes a new comic should ap pear, that ought to enjoy a healthy life by profiting from the sad ex perience of its naughty predecessors. Dear Editor: Kindly give me a word in vour forum to call the student body's at tention to a matter which seema of great importance to me. The matter which I have reference to is the marked negligence with which a number of fellows have baen showing by cutting across t.h& mm pus. Although this practice is a time saver it cannot be continued if Carolina is to have a decent campus. Already paths across the campus have become plain and the grass thereon is practically dead. I am convinced that the fellows who have helped make these paths did it without the thought that some one would follow shortly after him and make the path more visible. Most men stroll across the campus with the idea that it won't make much dif ference this time and that they will not do it again. This is not the case for as soon as one man begins the practice four or five others will fol low and soon it is easy to see a dozen men making little paths in all di rections across the campus. It is evident that the campus is already in, a bad condition from the building programme but it is up to the student body to keep it in as good condition as possible. There h at present a committee with Dr. Coker as chairman which exnprfu tification programme in the near fu ture. Sometime ago Dr. Coker along with several others offered $1,000 j Student's Column j toward beautifying the campus. If an adequate fund is to be roused the student body must offer some incentive and the best "that we can offer is that eveiy Carolina man do what is in his power to keep th cam pus looking as good as possible; all that is required is that you. take the walks instead of the grass. AL G. WILKES. The Wilderness 'By J. Osier Bailiy By J. Osier Bailey We suggest that the K. K. K. in vestigate the ethics in. the case of U. N. C, versus one Stephen Brot'y, and take action. Things have come to a sad pass when the whole board of a struggling publication must be forced to resign in order to make one wily outsider leave town. It's of genuine credit to a town the size of Chapul Hill that for weeks after a man has been declared a loon his peanut and candy wagon remains unlooted, and even untouched, by the side of the main street of the town. Our librarians are getting bright. One befreckled bookworm whose wont is to holcj forth day by day within the walls of Mr. Carnegie's gift was approached by a dapper, young co-ed recently for a book on nutrition. "All our books, Lady," re plied the zealous Keeper of the Papy rus, "are food for thought!" What, is this thing that lifts my eyes To Beauty blazing in the, skies? What is this thing that quicks my heart . At sound of timbrel, form of art? What is this thing that dims my 'sight And sickens me with dull delight? WTiat is this thing that bears me down? What pressure this, that rears a clown ? i The one's a river, smooth and strong, The other, heathen with a gong. And both are nets, flung mesh to mesh, For one is Love, the other Flesh. The latest Literary Digest's De partment of Science features a long article by our very own distinguish ed scientist, Prof. Archibald Hender son; the subject of Dr. Henderson's article is, "How Big is the Universe?" Seems like a sizeable job for one of our North Carolina home-folks to r, I ACQUEft-RED WITH SMART BLACK Rivals the beauty of the ITEse Poncatt tfeatt Baas k ' style of writing can distort it no years of use can wear it away PARKER DUOFOLD might well be called the Fountain Pen of Youth.

No danger f it around Chapel Hill! The number of professors wives trundling the new crop of ba bies up and down in front of the Post Office is a sight to see. "Ootsey Tootsey! Tunning as oo tan be!"
